ON HAWERA TRACKS

HORSES FOR WANGANUI WORK ON SATURDAY Chief interest at Hawera on Saturday morning was centred on the local horses engaged at Wanganui and some useful sprinting was accomplished. The plough was fairly fast. A feature of the work was a smart halfmile by the novice Fiancee, writes "Goldspur” in the Hawera Star. Working on the middle of the course proper Flamberge (Eley) finished better than Chief Lord (Ryan) to be clear at the close of half a mile in 51 2-5.

The former is very well at present, and promises to be hard to dispose of in his Wanganui engagements. Le Marquis (Grylls) ran five furlongs without being extended in 1.3 L After his two good thirds at Hawera he will have many friends in the maiden event next Thursday. Disturbed (TokD was responsible for an excellent display over two rounds of the schooling hurdles, ten in all. He is a quick and clean fencer. The Wanganui Cup candidate Winsome Lu (Farland), and Golden Orchid (Ryan) were associated over a mile in I.42J—a good effort.

However, unless rain falls in the interim her prospects are not enhanced with the ground in its present hard state. Te Huia, Notium, and Pretty Lass were let off with useful pacework. The two-year-old Veldette was allotted barrier practice, jumping away very smartly on two occasions,
